Who wants another war? Not most of America

There may be some enthusiasm in Washington, D.C. for a strike on Syria, but members of Congress “will have to consider whether they want to respond to pro-war pressure from inside-the-Beltway — as so many did when they authorized action against Iraq — or to the anti-war sentiments of their constituents,” writes John Nichols for The Nation.

President Obama makes a serious threat to punish Bashar Assad, and what happens? Assad agrees to sign, after 45 years, the chemical weapons accord, and agrees to turn over all his stores of such weapons for destruction. I don’t know about anyone else, but I would call that a slam dunk, that gets the job done, and still leaves the military option open if Assad is stupid enough to renege. Good job Mr. President, no matter what the hate driven bigots have to say about it.
